The Live installer DOES include these version. You need to look in
/usr/m0n0wall/beta for 1.2b3 and 1.2b7. However, I would still install
1.11 and then upgrade to 1.2 .

With regards to CF (or HD), check the doc's. In terms of the BIOS
settings, I "think" you will want to make sure power down/hibernate
and/or sleap mode is disabled. CF is really the way to go. Virtually
no power consumption, moving parts, or generated heat.

Search the archive's...I think I recall people using USB sticks. If
you can use a usb stick, I think you will probably have to use the
windows physwrite to put the m0n0wall image on the usb stick. I
personally have never tried this.
